The Secret Pilates Studio that is! Eva Berg has a fully equipped L.A. style studio which is located in scenic south Dublin where she runs 34 classes a week. Whether you want body sculpting and specific toning, rehabilitation for injuries and backache, core strengthening and posture alignment or specific sports training there is a class for you.

If you can’t make it to the studio Eva has a new DVD out called ‘Wicked Little Workout For The Waist’ priced at 14.99euro with 30% of the proceeds going to the I.S.P.C.C. I have road tested it for you all and can confirm it’s a great effective, quick workout that really targets your waist.

If you want a broader workout you can also purchase Eva’s original DVD The Secret Core Pilates for 14.99euro.

Ralph Lauren wowed the fashion world at his autumn/winter 2012 show at Mercedes-Benz New York Fashion Week.

The show kicked off to the theme music of ‘Downton Abbey’ and the models that paraded down the parquet floored, crystal chandelier lit runway did not disappoint. Clad in sumptuous sable, wool, tweed, satin and velvet fabrics embellished with embroidery, brooches and feathers and accessorized with stunning shoes and the most beautiful selection of traditional style hats. Oh the hats! Bowlers, top hats, flat caps and cloches, oh my!

Although the collection had a decidedly 1920’s ‘Downton’ theme it was not in the least ‘costumey’ but instead showed traditional fabrics and cuts in a refreshing light.
